    Rag and tube structure

    I would be more concerned about gross changes in the surface finish and cracks in the tubes near welds. 4130 is nasty stuff, it wont budge with sand unless rust or something else attacked it. *** measure tubes in these areas and be cautious, there is rust on the inside most likely. Dye...

    Where Have All the Decent File Backup Programs Gone?

    Your approach is awesome in my opinion. Robocopy never fails. Rsync for GNU systems is its equivalent and is also awesome. These days people are buying appliances not computers, so its great to see you take the basic tools and get the job done quickly.

    NA Prius battery boost quickguide

    I must admit the toyota hybrid drive train is an electro-mechanical wonder. Pretty amazing they have been around for almost 20 years now. This is the coolest site ever. You can play with the speed of the engine, motor 1 and Motor 2 to see how the software keeps the car stopped or moving...

    How to buy a car?

    If you intend to put high miles on it, you cannot go cheaper than a reliable 2 - 4 year old car. Best bang per mile long run with no initial maintenance costs. AG

    Fear of fall?

    Take your jacket off in the airplane. When I'm over heated I get sick quickly. +1 for the Cherokee, I bet the low wing will solve your issues.
